This is good news for Phoenix Children’s health system, which is benefiting from an influx of young families moving into the area.
“At a time when many parts of the country are experiencing a decline in births, our market is seeing a sharp increase,” says Shelly Caldrello, director of physician relations at Phoenix Children’s.
To capture a greater share of the burgeoning market, the marketing team launched an ambitious initiative a year ago to increase physician referrals and grow patient volumes for the Center for Fetal and Neonatal Care, one of Phoenix Children’s primary drivers of internal referrals.
“It serves as a major feeder because newborns treated at the center often have additional medical conditions requiring specialized care from other health system services, such as pediatric cardiology, neurology, and orthopedics,” notes Loren Farquhar, a marketing consultant to the team.
